Blue Energy in hydrogen deal to fuel mine fleet

Written by dev on . Posted in All News, Coal, Energy.

Stanmore’s Isaac Plains mining fleet at Moranbah may be running on hydrogen in future through a deal with gas proponent Blue Energy.

Blue Energy has executed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Stanmore Resources to supply hydrogen from future pilot production activities in its ATP 814 tenement in the Bowen Basin.

It follows an earlier deal between the parties to capture and market mine gas from Stanmore’s proposed Isaac Plains underground operation adjacent to Blue's ATP814. . .

Gladstone refinery in $1.2m hydrogen study

Written by dev on . Posted in All News, Processing / Manufacturing.

Rio Tinto will look into using renewable hydrogen to power a key process at its Yarwun alumina refinery in Gladstone in a $1.2 million study.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) will contribute up to $579,786 towards the feasibility study.

Conventional alumina refining combusts natural gas to achieve the high temperatures necessary in the calcination process.

Rio Tinto will investigate the technical implications of displacing that natural gas with renewable hydrogen at the Yarwun plant.

One aspect of the study will see the company simulate the calcination process using a lab scale reactor at its Bundoora Technical Development. . .

CQ site earmarked for major hydrogen plant

Written by dev on . Posted in All News, Energy, Processing / Manufacturing.

Stanwell has secured land for its proposed 3000MW green hydrogen electrolysis facility at Aldoga, 20km west of Gladstone.

The publicly-owned generator is partnering with Japanese industrial heavyweight Iwatani Corporation for the project, tipped to create more than 5,000 jobs for regional Queenslanders.

Stanwell acting chief executive officer Adam Aspinall said signing an option agreement with Economic Development Queensland to secure land for the green hydrogen production facility was an exciting step towards the proposal becoming a reality.

Cost-competitive green hydrogen on near horizon

Written by dev on . Posted in All News, Energy.

Green hydrogen is already approaching cost competitiveness for heavy trucking, buses and remote power, with the potential to become commercially viable across further sectors of transportation as early as 2030, a new study shows. 

The Clean Energy Finance Corporation commissioned the Australian Hydrogen Market Study, which was prepared by global energy analysts Advisian (part of the Worley Group).

It looked into the competitiveness of green hydrogen across 25 Australian industry sectors over three timeframes (2020, 2030 and 2050) compared with incumbent energy technologies in Australia .

Consortium explores wastewater hydrogen scheme

Written by dev on . Posted in All News, Energy, Exploration.

Townsville City Council has reached a deal with a local consortium to look into hydrogen production at the Mount St John wastewater treatment plant site.

The licence agreement will allow Townsville Hydrogen to begin a feasibility study on producing green hydrogen using wastewater at the site.

It follows a tender released to the market last month seeking proposals from parties interested in the production of hydrogen.

Townsville Mayor Jenny Hill said the initial licence agreement would allow council and the proponents to confidently come to an arrangement for a longer-term lease with the aim of ensuring the preferred tenderer. . .

Backing for Gladstone, Toowoomba hydrogen clusters

Written by dev on . Posted in All News, Energy, Processing / Manufacturing.

Queensland is establishing two further hydrogen clusters in Gladstone and Toowoomba as the state positions itself as a hydrogen technology leader.

The State Government has committed $100,000 through a partnership with NERA (National Energy Resources Australia) to establish the new clusters, which will work with the established H2Q cluster in Brisbane.

Hydrogen Minister Mick de Brenni said the State Government would provide Gladstone Engineering Alliance (GEA) and Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise (TSBE) with $50,000 each to progress their cluster strategies.

Solar firm plans $500m CQ hydrogen project

Written by dev on . Posted in All News, Energy, Processing / Manufacturing.

International solar firm Eco Energy World has announced plans for a $500 million green hydrogen and solar PV development in Raglan near Gladstone.

EEW was already planning a 300MW solar farm at Raglan and now aims to combine the PV plant with a project to produce renewable energy for green hydrogen production, developing a 200MW hydrogen plant with a further 100MW allocated to energy storage.

The proposed hydrogen plant would produce 33,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year using electrolyser technology, the company said.

Eco-friendly route to ammonia production

Written by dev on . Posted in All News, Energy, Processing / Manufacturing.

Australian chemical engineers have found a way to make ‘green’ ammonia from air, water and renewable electricity - while avoiding the need for high temperatures, high pressure and major infrastructure.

They believe the new production method has the potential to play a role in the global transition towards a hydrogen economy, where ammonia is increasingly seen as a solution to the problem of storing and transporting hydrogen energy.

Their work is outline in a paper published in Energy and Environmental Science.
